Hi !!! I will go to Japan in the summer to see the Nissan Skylines,the NISMO Factory,the culture and all what have to do with Jap`Sportcars !!!

Can you give me any informations (address) about this things i want to see ?

I don`t know where and in which hotel i can stay. any idea`s ? ? ?

I hope you can help me to find out what the best place for me is to stay a few days. (approximately 10 days).

Is there anything to consider like "Don`t smoke on a open street" or something like this ? :innocent:

Don`t laugh about my english but i be out school since 7 Years...My english is litte bit rusty (-;

Hey Frank, so sorry I didn't respond to your PM!!! But I think you'd get a better response from the forum anyways...

Although I haven't been there myself, the Nismo Omori Factory is a definate place to see. Just use Babelfish to translate that link.

Maybe one of the other guys that live near Tokyo can give you a better idea of where to stay, as I only really know the Makuhari area there (coz of the TAS).

There aren't really any special things you need to consider, Japan is a very tolerant place, you needn't worry about smoking in the street, it's ok!!! Hell, you can even piss in the street if you want to!!! :D thats ok too...

I'm not sure of any car show and the like during summer in Tokyo, if you came to Kobe I could sort you out, but with only 10 days to play with, your best bet is definately Tokyo.

but then again it's a no-no to walk down the street eating food...

but yeah, feel free to flop it out while having a ciggy!

Frank - there's plenty of info that will help you already in the forum - but, of course, feel free to ask any questions

I've also compiled some info here which might answer a few questions

in any case, have fun

Hi !!! Thank`s for the info`s Rezz and DaiOni :D

Is it in Japan very expensive ? I hope not, but my co-worker said something like this....Mc Donnalds (in germany calles "mc doof" or "mäcces") costs at least 20 Euro in Japan apiece. Is that real ?

@Evo_Lee

Why i should not go to Japan in the summer ? ? ?

Where produced (produce :P ) Nissan the Skyline ? ? ? The production of the R 34 was stopped in Sep. 2002 right ?

Sorry for my bad english..... :angel:

Don't know how summer is in Germany, but summer in Japan like most SE Asian countries is sweat city...high humidity. You'll feel tired everyday, hot and sticky, and cramping in with all the other smelly people on public transport is not fun. Had a mate over one summer and god it was a nightmare trolling about Kyoto showing him the sights on public transport. Not to mention my Recaros in car didn't enjoy soaking up his sweat...case by case but he sweat like a pig.

Skylines have always been built from the Tochigi plant North of Tokyo.

There are loads of hotels to choose from in Tokyo. Sticking to the center is always a good idea as you are pretty much close to everything.

A friend of mine that comes to Japan often likes to stay at the Prince Hotel in Shinagawa as they do good rates if you book in advance from abroad.

There was a post here recently where someone wanted pointers while visiting Tokyo. I gave a pretty comprehensive reply so worth searching for it.

Re the weather....it will be very hot, especially in the city and not really pleasant if you are not used to it. But some people don't mind it (I bloody well do!:P).

You will not find too much difference regarding prices. Europe is so bloody expensive these days a lot of stuff is a hell of a lot cheaper here! That expensive thing is all a myth carried over form the bubble economy...

Hope this is helpful.

Funny...you come here in Summer and I go to Germany! Yearly Nordschleife trip...can't wait:D:D

I want to take along my Notebook but here is the current 230 Volt and in Japan ? ? ? 110 V / 50 Hz or 60 Hz ? ? ?

I must buy a adapter for the 230 V plug, right ? ? ? :)

ahh, it's just opinion, but as wonderful as the smell of venice in a european 'heat wave' is, I don't think euro weather comes close to a honshu summer (humidity, in particular)

yes Venice doesn't smell particularly great in summer with 40 degrees heat and 70% humidity....but some back streets in Tokyo can pretty much make you puke!! Plus Venice is in the North....try down south for serius heat!

What I'm trying to say is that it's a different kind of heat (and there's just as big a difference between germany and the mediterranean). Eastern australia and japan is a good contrast - both can be wickedly hot in summer, but they are very different experiences - one is 'my god I'm melting', the other is 'my god, am I still in the shower?'.

My money is on there being a significant climactic difference for frank. But hey, who cares? Sink some asahis, put on some shorts... enjoy!

Hi @all.

My neighbour is a pliot from the german "Lufthansa Airline"

He had warned me because there`s a very high humidity :wassup:

But i think that the cilmatic aspect is not so important because when i see a Skyline live i get hypnotised :(

Is the "Prince Hotel Chain" the only one in Japan ? ? ? Or is this the best i can check in ? ? ?

Oh no i unfortunately must go to work :headspin:

@all

Ciao have a nice day

Check your notebook power supply again, most of them these days are dual 100-240V. Only the plug may be a problem.

      Neil's R33 Gts-t Build

      By Victory · Posted

      All I can say Duncan is good luck and I hope that Neil did not run any E85 in Cheryl. I have recently experienced the full spectrum of fuel tank issues in my R33's that had been caused by E85 and contaminated fuel. When you take the cover off the top of the tank and have a look inside you will get an understanding of how easy it will be. Best case situation is clean fuel with minimal contamination. My GTR was like this and it was a very simple operation to just grab the fuel pump carrier bracket and slide it up and out of the tank. My three GTS_T's had different levels of fuel contamination that was probably caused by E85 in the fuel.  In the worst case all of the metal components in the tank had rusted to the point where there were pieces of rusted metal swirling around in the tank. This required the removal of the exhaust, the tailshaft, the complete rear cradle and the fuel tank. The components in the tank were that rusted that it took days to get the fuel pump carrier and the mounting brackets out of the tank. When the tank was finally cleaned, everything inside the tank had to be replaced. With the tank all back together I could then reinstall it in the car along with everything else that had to come out. Good luck and I hope that you find a clean tank.

      It is a two door. It is black and also still has the OEM wheels and stereo. Exact model would be KR_R32RGFEL_SS According to GTR-Registry.com is a 2 Door Coupe; RB20DE; 2WD no HICAS; MT.F5; (11L) Projector Headlamps and Fog Lights; (12_) Electronic Active Full Auto Air Con (Climate Control); (13-14SS) V Selection -- Which seems to be accurate description of my variant. Will try to upload a few pictures soon. The OEM wheels look like the below image. Image is taken from the goo-net-exchange website.
